Manchester United star Juan Mata: This is what I think of our win over Watford
JUAN MATA insists Manchester United are moving in the "right direction" after they beat Watford 2-0 at Old Trafford today.
Juan Mata - We are moving in the right direction
Mata, 28, opened up the scoring for Manchester United with Anthony Martial's 60th-minute strike sealing the three points to help Jose Mourinho's side climb to fifth in the Premier League.
United have now gone 16 games unbeaten in the league and find themselves just one point behind rivals Manchester City in the race for a top-four finish.

And Mata is hopeful United can maintain this form and continue to climb the table as they bid to regain Champions League football.
"When you play good football and get the three points it is a step forward but we need to keep going. It was a convincing performance and we are very happy today," Mata said.

"It started to feel like it was one of those games again. Their keeper saved every chance but then the goal came and after that it was more comfortable for us. We are going in the right direction.
"It is very, very difficult. First of all is to get into the top four. We have been winning games but not going higher in the table. We want to go higher and higher. We never know where we will finish."
